Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Bathroom Encounter

His icy fingertips slid down her cheek like a snake spitting venom, but Avery couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She knew he was having an episode.

When they started dating, he had three demands: no betrayal, no one touching her, and no leaving.

She had noticed early on that Jacob had an abnormal possessiveness toward her. He could make someone's entire family disappear just because she was slapped.

He would also grow resentful if she received any attention at school. During the sports meet, when she fell, the sports committee member carried her to the infirmary.

That night, she witnessed Jacob's dark side for the first time. He uttered only a few words, "Clean yourself up."

No matter how much Avery tried to explain, he wouldn't listen. That night, she was pinned under the cold water from the showerhead.

Although Jacob was somewhat abnormal, she loved him dearly. She quit school for him, reducing her chances of being seen in public.

But after their divorce, his madness only grew.

Her stomach was already aching, and the side effects of chemotherapy had only been relieved a little. The room had no heating, and being drenched with cold water made Avery feel unbearably cold.

"Turn it off. It's cold. Jacob, I'm feeling cold."

Jacob pressed her body against the cold stone bricks, and his smile was chilling.

"Avy, if I hold you, will you still be cold?"

"Freak, you're a freak!"

Avery trembled as she reached out for the shower switch, but Jacob caught her hand.
